She walked up my stairs. If I didn't see she was on the porch and would open the door, I would hit her with the door. I waited until she moved away a bit then I opened the door and put some seeds in front of her, but that scared her and she flew back under the tree. I could see that her flight isn't confident yet. I will be going to the store to see of they have any mixes for doves.

Do you think I should perch her on a low tree branch for the night?

While I was taking my daughter to sport practice, she disappeared. Before I left, she was really persistent to walk down the street (where cars drive) and I had her chase her towards the grassy area. I had to force her leave my driveway before I drove off. It wasn't easy. I came close, she kept sitting there, I almost had to touch her to make her leave (I basically was gently pushing her). I think something is wrong with her, and maybe that's the reason parents don't take care of her (At least I don't see them around) When I came back and didn't see her, it was getting dark. I checked as well as I could, but couldn't locate her. She either hid that well for the night (and note that she is a big bird), or something happened. Just a reminder, I posted about seeing her on Saturday and I didn't see her the whole Sunday. From another hand, the way she walked up my stairs was cute. She looked curious and certainly was looking for seeds (I had some leftovers from tiels outdoor time). Would a sick bird do it??? When you say she may be hand tame, does it mean she can be domesticated dove??? Darn it, I imagined that lost Chipper found somebody kind and tries to stay with that person, and the person thinks this is the wild bird and pushes him away like i do!
Everything is so much confusing!!! What if she's lost domesticated dove who can't be on her own around, But I take her for a fledgling and think that this is a normal process of learning to fly??? The reason why I would prefer rehabilitation to come here is that I am not sure something is wrong. I am not even sure anymore if she is wild fledgling!!! (I think she is but who knows.. ) I would like a professional to take a look before she is removed from this area where her parents might be. She survived somehow til today since at least Saturday...

this is Craigslist posting of the only person I found for rehabilitation. She promised to come last summer when I had problem with Robbins but never showed up. Quote: I have been caring for birds my whole life, both exotic and wild birds. If you have a bird that you can no longer care for, for any reason whether it be health related or just a bird you can no longer handle, call me, I am willing to give your bird a forever loving, nurturing, home. I am not trying to get birds to resell, not my intention at all like a lot of these other bird rescue groups, I am wanting to make sure these beautiful creatures get amazing homes. When I feel the bird is ready to be re-homed, there will be extensive screening but there will be no fees involved. That is not my goal. And if the bird is happy with me, then that's where the bird will remain.. Thank you and God Bless You.

do they need a flock? If she is a growing baby, she would need somebody to guide her thru everything. What is she supposed to do during winter?
